like i said there are a few folks driving around with modded 4l60Es that are running 700+ is it common..no but its not like the 4l60E is some trash bag transmission..and also what i said is there are better options then the 4l80e for a f-body or even a gto. the 4l80e is not the end all transmission.

Simple.
4l60e may hold up.
4l80e will hold up.
4l80e is not much heavier but will take work to fit.

Is your Trans Bad? What are your plans A DD Drag only street racing?Choice of Trans depends on what you plan to do.What kinds of mods you have.You ask a question got some answers NO one ask what Type of Driving Your doing. That makes a difference in the best Trans to go with!And as far as every ones answers ther are guessing at what you need.

To help explain as simple as possible,,,the 4L80E is basically a 400 turbo with an overdrive. Many parts interchange between the 400 turbo and 4L80E.
The gear spread is also identical
2.48 1st
1.48 2nd
1.00 3rd
Then of course the 4L80E has the overdrive 4th gear. Because of this it's slightly larger than a 400 turbo.
This gear spread is actually great for racing and the higher first gear doesn't hit the tires as hard.
For all out racing efforts the gear spread in the stock 4L60E sucks....first gear is too steep,,,,and the rpm drop on the 1-2 shift is horrible. It's an okay street trans or for a toy but it sucks at the strip for all out performance.

its a dd, i do street race it and drive harsh at times, i want a trans that will hold up to my style lol, i like to be just drivin then i get bored and just nail it for the hell of it. so far i have lt headers cam slp lid bora exhaust 295 35 18 bfgoodrich drag radials. also 2nd gear misshifts some times. meaning like it will hit it for a second then go to 3rd gear and take it a min to get up to speed for 3rd gear to be really effective. also what would a 3000 stall do for me? i know it will launch at 3ooorpm but what about driving? will it always stay at 3k or what? or will it at like a stock stall for normal drivin after it takes off

it will be after u install a power adder that you will need a new trans soon after,stalls have lockup clutches just like stock converters do in high gear they will rpm at lower rpms then non lock up.when u nail it even moving they flash to the advertised stall allowing you to get the motor into a higher more usable rpm.

so a higher stall converter will act the same as a stock one while driving normal conditions just until i stomp on it right

I saw over on tech an FLT 4L60E tran in a guys car running low 9's so I think they can be built up to take some pretty harsh abuse. I have a level 2 performabuilt in mine and plan on putting it to the test here before long.

sounds like you should stay around that area 3000-3200 more then enough for most people,i hd a 3000 in mine car went 10.9.theres a info under transmission section tells you the ins and outs of converters.enjoy,ps stall is one of the best things you can do to and auto 1/2 second diffrence in 1/4 mile times...

yes but for how long ?my point was that for high Horse power cars and something thats going to last.ask that guy how many 9 second passes he gets out of a build,does he run the car on the street much? most of us guys drive our cars,I know I do just more fun the drive the car to track rip off some great times then drive it home.

How long can you run any high horsepowered car without something breaking...it's subjective. I'm just trying to point out that you can have an extremely fast car w/ a 4L60E. Is it the best idea, well each person can make that determination for themselves.
